He supported the CUP, the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'état of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebazâde family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession, and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa, reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II, and once under his successor, Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896, he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople, and, though then assured of his personal liberty and safety, remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908. On 22 July he succeeded Mehmed Ferid Pasha as grand vizier, but on the 6 August was replaced by the more liberal Kâmil Pasha, at the insistence of the Young Turks. Also during 1908, Mehmed Said Pasha bought the famed Istanbul arcade in the Beyoglu (Pera) district, today known as Çiçek Pasaji ("Flower Passage"). The modern name became common in the 1940s; during Mehmed Said Pasha's ownership in the 1900s and 1910s, the arcade was known as Sait Pasa Pasaji ("Said Pasha Passage"). During the Italian crisis in 1911-12, he was again called to the premiership.

SHAMS AL-DÎN MUHAMMAD ibn MAHMÛD AL-SHAHRAZÛRÎ, (
Nuzhat al-arwâh wa rawdat al-afrâh.= Nüzhetü'l-ervâh: Bilgelerin tarihi ve özdeyisleri.
New Turkish Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 968 p. Nuzhat al-arwâh wa rawdat al-afrâh.= Nüzhetü'l-ervâh: Bilgelerin tarihi ve özdeyisleri. Translated from the Arabic. Based on the manuscript of the Süleymaniye manuscript Library, Ref. Hamidiye 2382, Fatih 4515. Shahrazuri was a 13th-century Muslim physician, historian and philosopher. He was of Kurdish origin. It appears that he was alive in AD 1288. However, it is also said that he died in the same year. Shahrazuri was an important historian and scholar of the late 13th century who composed a biographical dictionary of both ancient Greek and early Muslim learned men. Although he wrote a major biographical work on scholars, very little is known about his life, including the dates of his birth and death. Perhaps the most well known work by him is Nuzhat al arwâ? wa raw?at al-afrâ?. According to the correction and reprint by M A Khurshid, there are several copies of the book; one of them in the John Rylands library in Manchester. Edward Granville Browne mentions two medical works attributed to him, one in Arabic and another in Persian language.(E. Browne, p. 100) One of his philosophical works is commentary about philosopher Suhrawardi called Shar? ?ikma al-ishrâq. It is also said that the well known commentary works of Qutb al-Din Al Shirazi called Durrat al-Taj about Suhrawardi's Hikmat al-Ishraq is based on Shar? ?ikma al-ishrâq. It is also said that another of his work regarding Suhrawardi's Illumnationist philosophy is the most faithful, called al-Shajarah al-Ilahiyyah (The Divine Tree).

M. KIRAMI ÖLGEN.
Spatial clustering of notifiable communicable diseases in Turkey.
New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 80 p. When looking at the distribution of infectious diseases in the world in general, it is seen that there is a distinct difference between developed and developing countries. Morbidity and mortality rates of infectious diseases decrease as the level of development increases. In other words, infectious diseases are mostly diseases of developing countries. Therefore, it is necessary to create an effective fighting program against infectious diseases. One of the most important components of effective fighting is the establishment of an effective surveillance system. Monitoring infectious diseases is essential for detecting outbreaks that demand public health response and control measures.Many methods are used for this purpose such as spatial clustering. This is defined as aggregation of disease cases anywhere. Clustering of the disease shows its relation with space. For this reason, cluster analysis is frequently used in epidemiology. It has been the main driving force to carry out the study on this relatively new issue for our country. The book is the product of this work.

KHEDIVE ABBAS HILMI PASHA II of EGYPT, (The last Khedive (Ottoman viceroy) of Egypt and Sudan, ruling from 8 January 1892 to 19 December 1914), (1874-1944).
[FINE ALS / ROYALTY / KHEDIVE] Autograph letter signed 'Abbas Hilmi'.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original autograph manuscript letter signed by Khedive Abbas Hilmi Pasha II of Egypt. 20,5x16,5 cm. In Ottoman script. 1 p. 6 lines. Sent to an unknown recipient who he called 'Efendim hazretleri' in elqab of the letter. He mentions that he received a telegraph of the recipient. He celebrated 'eid' ('Iyd-i said'). Abbas II Helmy Bey, was the last Khedive (Ottoman viceroy) of Egypt and Sudan, ruling from 8 January 1892 to 19 December 1914. In 1914, after the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in World War I, the nationalist Khedive was removed by the British, then ruling Egypt, in favor of his more pro-British uncle, Hussein Kamel, marking the de jure end of Egypt's four-century era as a province of the Ottoman Empire, which had begun in 1517. Abbas Hilmy, the great-great-grandson of Muhammad Ali, was born in Alexandria, Egypt on 14 July 1874.[4] He succeeded his father, Tewfik Pasha, as Khedive of Egypt and Sudan on 8 January 1892. In 1887 he was ceremonially circumcised together with his younger brother Mohammed Ali Tewfik. The festivities lasted for three weeks and were carried out under great pomp. As a boy, he visited the United Kingdom, and he had a number of British tutors in Cairo including a governess who taught him English.[5] In a profile of Abbas II, the boys' annual, Chums, gives a lengthy account of his education. His father established a small school near the Abdin Palace in Cairo where European, Arab and Ottoman masters taught Abbas and his brother Mohammed Ali Tewfik. An American officer in the Egyptian army took charge of his military training. He attended school at Lausanne, Switzerland; then, at the age of twelve, he was sent to the Haxius School in Geneva, in preparation for his entry into the Theresianum in Vienna. In addition to Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, he had good conversational knowledge of English, French, and German. He was still in college in Vienna when he assumed the throne of the Khedivate of Egypt upon the sudden death of his father, 8 January 1892. He was bare of age according to Egyptian law; normally, eighteen in cases of succession to the throne. For some time he did not cooperate very cordially with the British, whose army had occupied Egypt in 1882. As he was young and eager to exercise his new power, he resented the interference of the British Agent and Consul General in Cairo, Sir Evelyn Baring, later made Lord Cromer. At the outset of his reign, Khedive Abbas II surrounded himself with a coterie of European advisers who opposed the British occupation of Egypt and Sudan and encouraged the young khedive to challenge Cromer by replacing his ailing prime minister with an Egyptian nationalist. At Cromer's behest, Lord Rosebery, the British foreign secretary, sent Abbas II a letter stating that the Khedive was obliged to consult the British consul on such issues as cabinet appointments. In January 1894 Abbas II made an inspection tour of Sudanese and Egyptian frontier troops stationed near the southern border, the Mahdists being at the time still in control of Sudan itself. At Wadi Halfa the Khedive made public remarks disparaging the Egyptian army units commanded by British officers. The British commander of the Egyptian army, Sir Herbert Kitchener, immediately threatened to resign. Kitchener further insisted on the dismissal of a nationalist under-secretary of war appointed by Abbas II and that an apology be made for the Khedive's criticism of the army and its officers. By 1899 he had come to accept British counsels. Also in 1899 British diplomat, Alfred Mitchell-Innes was appointed Under-Secretary of State for Finance in Egypt, and in 1900 Abbas II paid a second visit to Britain, during which he said he thought the British had done good work in Egypt and declared himself ready to cooperate with the British officials administering Egypt and Sudan. He gave his formal approval for the establishment of a sound system of justice for Egyptian nationals, a great reduction in taxation...

DR. HULÛSI BEHÇET, (A Turkish dermatologist and scientis who described a disease of inflamed blood vessels in 1937, which is named after him as Behçet's disease), (1889-1948).
Autograph manuscript prescription signed 'Behçet'.
Very Good Turkish Original manuscript prescription signed by Hulûsi Behçet. 22x14 cm. In Turkish. 1 p. Only two notes and signature on an "Extra Strong" watermarked and with "Dr. Hulusi Behçet, Telef. 2,1560 - 4,0515" letterhead prescription paper. His address is written on the bottom. Behçet was a Turkish dermatologist and scientist. He described a disease of inflamed blood vessels in 1937, which is named after him as Behçet's disease. His portrait was depicted on a former Turkish postcard stamp. Born to Turkish parents, as his father was an official in the Ottoman Empire they immigrated to Damascus and he spent his early childhood thereafter he lost his mother to illness. During World War I (1914-1918), he served at the military hospital in Edirne as a specialist in dermatology and venereal diseases and was assigned to the head of the hospital as an assistant. After the war, between 1918-1919, he first went to Budapest, Hungary, and then to Berlin, Germany to improve his medical knowledge. He had the opportunity to meet some well-known colleagues there. After his return to Turkey, he went into private practice. In 1923, Behçet was appointed as the head physician at the Hasköy Venereal Diseases Hospital at Golden Horn in Istanbul. Shortly after, he moved to Guraba Hospital, which is now part of the School of Medicine Istanbul University. While he lectured at the university, he continued his private practice as well. In 1933, Istanbul University was re-established out of the old-fashioned Dar-ul Fünun. During this period of reform, Behçet founded the department of dermatology and venereal diseases. He was interested in syphilis since 1922 and had published many international articles on its diagnosis, treatment, hereditary properties, serology, and social aspects. Leishmaniasis (Oriental sore) was another disease, which Behçet worked on, beginning in 1923. He wrote about it in many articles and succeeded in its treatment with diathermic. He first described "the nail sign" appearing by the removal of the crust of an oriental sore. A part of his published work was concerned with parasitosis. In 1923, he described the etiologic agents of "gale cereal" in Turkey. Behçet dealt with superficial and deep mycosis and their treatments. His first observations on Behçet's disease began with a patient he met between 1924-1925. This man had been consulted for 40 years in Istanbul and Vienna, Austria several times. According to his symptoms, the illness had been diagnosed. From the etiology, syphilis and tuberculosis were suspected. Austrian doctors had called an unknown protozoal disease. Ophthalmologists had described the ocular symptoms as iritis, which might be the result of syphilis, tuberculosis, or streptococcal or staphylococcal infections. After several iridectomies, the patient had completely lost his vision. Behçet continued to follow up with the patient for many years. In 1930, a woman suffering from irritation in her eye and with lesions in her mouth and genital regions was referred to Behçet's clinic and told him that these symptoms had been recurring for several years. He consulted the patient until 1932 and tried to diagnose the aetiological agent for tuberculosis, syphilis or mycosis, etc. by biopsy and other laboratory analyses, but he could not find anything. The prominent ophthalmologists Murat Rahmi and Iggescheimer had been also consulted. Following those two patients, in 1936 a male patient from a dental clinic with oral wounds, acneiform signs on the back, scrotal ulcer, eye irritation, evening fever, and abdominal pain was sent to his clinic. After the consultation, nothing except a dental cyst was found. Behçet thought the recurrent symptoms might be due to a virus. He referred the patient to Braun, who did a viral investigation and found some corpuscular structures. Behçet, with the symptoms of these three patients whom he had followed for years, then decided that they were the symptoms of a new disease and in 1936, he described th

P. H. NYSTEN and CEMIYET-I TIBBIYE-I SAHANE-YI OSMANIYE].
Dictionnaire des sciences medicales. Français - Turc.= Lugât-i tibbiye.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original 1/3 leather bdg. lettered gilt on the spine. Decorated with period ornaments on the spine. The title is on the second compartment. Contemporary handwritten scripts on frontispiece with a period postal stamp. Ex-library stamp on the first blank and the last page. Otherwise a good copy. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script. 3, [2], 640 p. Medical terms in French; preliminaries and definitions in Turkish (Arabic script). The orientation to the West in the Ottoman period started with the translation of the works of European physicians and the writing of compilation medical books from the second half of the 17th century. During this period, an important issue with regard to Turkish translation and copyrights was the lack of common terminology. In order to eliminate this deficiency, it has been deemed necessary to make a study that will ensure the use of the same terms for the same concepts in medical translations and copyrights. It was deemed appropriate to prepare a medical dictionary for this purpose and to follow the procedure of finding Ottoman equivalents to the article titles in Nysten's French medical dictionary for this dictionary. As a result of this study, during the preparation phase of the "Lügat-i Tibbiye", which was completed and published in 1290 (1874), the members of the Society of Tibbiye-i Osmaniye, in order to give the equivalents of the French medical terms, first of all, they applied to the works known as Avicenna's "The Medicine" ["Kanun fi't-tib"], Ebu'l-Kaim Zehravi's "Tasrif", Ebu Bekr er-Razi's "Havi" and other important sourcebooks of Islamic medicine. In addition, in recent times, books translated into eastern languages from western languages were also reviewed, especially the works of Sanizade [i.e. Anatomy of Sanizade] were used as well as Vankulu, Ahteri, Bûrhan-i Kâti, Lehçe, Kâmûs Tercümesi by Asim Efendi, Bianchi, Hançeri, Kazimirski, Meninsky's dictionaries. While creating new terms, Arabic and Persian were preferred to Latin and Greek, as they were more suitable for the Ottoman accent.

GEORGES AUGUST SCHWEINFURTH, (1836-1925).
[SCHWEINFURT'S TRAVEL ACCOUNT OF AFRICA IN OTTOMAN LANGUAGE] [Doktor] Sivinfort'un Afrika seyahatnamesi. Translated by Ahmed - Mustafa Said.
Fine Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original quarter leather bdg. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 911 p., profusely illustrated with many color and b/w plates, one folded map. Slight marginal foxing and light tears on extremities. Heavy tears on the map, no missing pieces, it needs to be restored. Overall a good copy. Hegira: 1291 = Gregorian: 1874. First and only Turkish edition of this rare and attractively and profusely illustrated book including Schweinfurth's travel account of the African continent, from Central Africa to Egypt, printed in the last Imperial period of the Ottomans. Schweinfurth was a Baltic German botanist and ethnologist who explored East-Central Africa. He was born in Riga, Latvia, then part of the Russian Empire. He was educated at the universities of Heidelberg, Munich, and Berlin (1856-1862), where he particularly devoted himself to botany and paleontology. Commissioned to arrange the collections brought from Sudan by Adalbert von Barnim and Robert Hartmann, his attention was directed to that region, and in 1863 he traveled around the shores of the Red Sea, repeatedly traversed the district between that sea and the Nile, passed on to Khartoum, and returned to Europe in 1866. His researches attracted so much attention that in 1868 the Berlin-based Alexander von Humboldt Foundation entrusted him with an important scientific mission to the interior of East Africa. Starting from Khartoum in January 1869, he went up the White Nile to Bahr-el-Ghazal, and then, with a party of ivory dealers, through the regions inhabited by the Diur (Dyoor), Dinka, Bongo, and Niam-Niam; crossing the Congo-Nile watershed he entered the country of the Mangbetu (Monbuttu) and discovered the river Uele (March 19, 1870), which by its westward flow he knew was independent of the Nile. Schweinfurth formed the conclusion that it belonged to the Chad system, and it was several years before its connection with the Congo was demonstrated. The discovery of the Uele was Schweinfurth's greatest geographical achievement, though he did much to elucidate the hydrography of the Bahr-el-Ghazal system. Of greater importance were the very considerable additions he made to the knowledge of the inhabitants and of the flora and fauna of Central Africa. He described in detail the cannibalistic practices of the Mangbetu, and his discovery of the pygmy Aka people settled conclusively the question as to the existence of dwarf races in tropical Africa. Unfortunately, a December 1870 fire in his camp destroyed nearly all that he had collected. He returned to Khartoum in July 1871 and published an account of the expedition, under the title of Im Herzen von Afrika (Leipzig, 1874; English edition, The Heart of Africa, 1873, new ed. 1878). In 1873-1874 he accompanied Friedrich Gerhard Rohlfs in his expedition into the Libyan Desert. Settling at Cairo in 1875, he founded a geographical society, under the auspices of the Khedive Ismail, and devoted himself almost exclusively to historical and ethnographic African studies. In 1876, he traveled into the Arabian Desert with Paul Güssfeldt, and continued his explorations therein at intervals until 1888, and during the same period made geological and botanical investigations in the Fayum, in the valley of the Nile.

ABDALLAH-AL-YAFI, (1901-1986).
[FIRST ARAB TO RECEIVE A PHD ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN SORBONNE] La condition privee de la femme dans le droit de l'Islam. [i.e. The legal status of women in the law of Islam].
Very Good French Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In French. [v], 163, [1] p. Chippings on extremities of cover, rubbed on spine, overall a good copy. First edition of this scarce book titled in English "The Legal Status of Women in the Law of Islam", written by Al-Yafi who was the Prime Minister of Lebanon serving twelve times between 1938 and 1969, and at the forefront of the struggle to give women the right to vote, which he was able to achieve with his cabinet in power in 1952. Abdallah Al-Yafi is the first Arab to receive a PhD from the Sorbonne University, where he wrote his thesis about women's rights in Islam. The thesis subject was "The Legal Status of Women in the Law of Islam" (French: La Condition Privée de la Femme dans le Droit de l'Islam). Drawing from Quranic decrees and Islamic principles, he made a case about how women are supposed to be allotted more rights in society. Al-Yafi believed that the empowerment of women was crucial for building a stronger society, equality providing a steadier base. These thoughts, when expressed in the 1920s, had quite an 'avant-garde' ring to conservative Muslim ears: they were not always welcome with wide open arms or minds. Later on in his political life, Abdallah Al-Yafi's political opponents brandished his thesis as a weapon of defamation to tarnish his reputation. According to them, he was not a "righteous Muslim" but a French minion who had given in to the French authorities-the colonial mandate authority in Lebanon at the time-in blaspheming the Islamic religion in reward of a "Doctorat d'État". These were aimed at ruining the honest image that he so carefully cultivated throughout his life.

Edited by EMIR ALISIK.
What byzantinism is this in Istanbul! Byzantium in popular culture.= Istanbul'da bu ne bizantinizm! Popüler kültürde Bizans. [Exhibition catalogue].
New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 428, [3] p., color and b/w ills. Byzantium in Popular Culture navigates through the eclectic presence of Byzantium in popular culture. Curated by Emir Alisik, the exhibition explores multiple and conflicting meanings of Byzantinism, and questions popular culture?s interaction with the Byzantine legacy. It scrutinizes a selection of motifs found in visual arts, literature, metal music, comics and graphic novels, video games, movies, and fashion representing Byzantium in popular culture. Emir Alisik and Gulru Tanman co-authors the introductory chapter to the catalogue accompanying ?What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!?: Byzantium in Popular Culture. The volume brings together the articles of 10 researchers who examine and interpret Byzantinism?s representations in various fields of art. The articles by Roland Betancourt, Felice Lifshitz, Brigitte Pitarakis, Sinan Ekim, Yagmur Karakaya, Elif Demirtiken, Jeremy J. Swist, Marco Fasolio, Haris Theodorelis-Rigas, and Emir Alisik discuss how Byzantinisms appearing in various domains of popular culture relate to the Byzantine history depending on the context in which those artworks are produced.

SPYRIDON MAVROGENIS, (The physician of Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire), (1817-?).
[GREEK PHYSICIAN OF THE SULTAN / PARIS IMPRINT] Physiologikai pragmateiai: Upo tou tis sunolou iatrikis didaktoros epitimou tautis kathigitou. Dilphoron epistimonon te kai philologon etairion te kai sullogon, imedapon te kai allodapon epitimou melous i proedrou... Tis autou A. Megaleiotitos tou Soultanou.
Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Greek (Modern). 244 p. Stains on margins, spine is loosened and slight marginal chippings on papers. An untrimmed and unopened, and a good copy. First and only Greek edition of this rare medical book printed in Paris, on physiology by Mavrogenis who was one of the most influential professors of medicine at the Constantinople Medical School where he taught the course in internal medicine. In this book, he clearly presents the state of the art in Physiology at the time, makes a clear distinction between Physiology and Psychology in terms of their methodologies, and accurately describes the then-current state of the "Brain - Mind Problem". (George Anogianakis, Reflections of Western Thinking on Nineteenth Century Ottoman Thought: A Critique of the 'Hard-Problem' by Spyridon Mavrogenis, a Nineteenth Century Physiologist). Mavrogenis was a Phanariot Greek doctor who was the physician of Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. A member of the Mavrogenis family, his great-grandfather was Petros Mavrogenis. Theodore Blancard stated that the Mavrogenises or the Morozonis was of Venetian heritage. His father died when he was young, so he lived with his uncle, Ioannis Mavrogenis, who was living in Vienna as the chargé d'affairs of the local Ottoman mission. He had studied at the Chalcis Commercial School prior to living with his uncle and at a medical studies program in Vienna from 1835-1843. He initially remained in that city, working in a city-owned hospital as an auxiliary doctor. He came back to Constantinople in 1845. Whilst back in Turkey, he became a doctor in the Artillery Hospital, and then, beginning in 1848, a professor at the Imperial Medical School. He initially taught hygiene, and later pathology. There he advocated for French as a medium of instruction. He held meetings of the Greek Literary Society, created in 1861, at his house. OCLC locates only two copies (261976425) in Stanford University Lane Medical Library and Utrecht University Library, but with the copies "317 pages". Our presented copy has 244 pages with "Telos" [i.e. Finish] without missing pages.
